Ladder Company 10, a unit of the 1st Battalion, of the 1st Division, of the FDNY, was originally organized in the former firehouse of volunteer Southwark Engine 38, located at 28 Ann Street, in lower Manhattan, on October 20, 1865. This company has moved many times in their long career, however all were in the lower Manhattan area on Fulton Street, Vesey Street, Liberty Street, Duane Street and South Street. On July 1, 1984, they moved to their present quarters, with Engine Company 10, at 124 Liberty Street. They are only one of two FDNY fire stations where the engine and ladder have the same number. The other houses Engine 52 and Ladder 52, in the Riverdale area of The Bronx. Their quarters, known as "The TenHouse", which was damaged on 9/11/01, is located directly across the street from the former South Tower (Tower 2) of the World Trade Center. Their first alarm area has numerous special hazards, including many old and new high-rise office buildings, historic churches, schools and several piers. In 2005, Ladder Company 10 responded to a total of 1339 alarms, of which 958 were workers. Included among those were 85 workers in occupied structural buildings.
